I have a dilemma. My old gym tops have worn out. They were longish, and loose, they way I like them, they showed very little of me. My daughter persuaded me to buy a new one, but it's very stretchy and tight and I'm not sure I should be seen out in public in it, but maybe my body image issues are getting in the way.
Please could you say whether, if you were me, you would wear this top to the gym now, or would you wait until you had lost more fat.
here we go...

    Hi

    I know what you mean about the old tops and too tight tops, but seriously, I think you look absolutely fine in your new one. Go for it!

    As long as it's comfortable to workout in, I'd say wear it!

    WEAR IT! I know how it feels to be self conscious about how you look in tight clothing, but I GUARANTEE you no one will judge. You're working out and this just shows off your progress! If you keep wearing bagging clothing, you're hiding all the work you've done and that's no fun! Be proud and don't think twice about whether or not you look good -- I assure you that you do!

    I would think absolutely nothing bad or critical about you if you wore that top. If it's comfortable, go for it. Anyone that goes to a gym and judges others on what they are wearing or what they look like, can kiss it.

    I think you look great! I haven't made the transition from baggy to tight yet but seeing you I think I might give it a shot! You look fab.

    Wear it! I bought pants that I thought were too tight and it actually helped my workout because they weren't baggy and I wasn't constantly pulling at them! As long as you're covered, no one judges. When is the last time you went to the gym and were more concerned about other peoples wardrobe rather than your workout? I'm assuming never, well, that's how everyone else is too! :)

    definitely wear it! It shows off your waist beautifully.
    I don't like wearing loose clothing when I'm at the gym doing high impact aerobics, because I can feel body parts moving a bit more independently from my skeleton :embarassed: But when I'm wearing tight fitting tops and pants, they suck me in and everything moves in unison :laugh:

    thanks, it's not at all tiny, it's 35 inches, but small in comparison to the rest LOL
